Honestly, the Republican party is so into disenfranchisement of minority groups and discouraging liberals from voting and generally being all “work hard to prove you deserve to vote” that I’m surprised turnout isn’t lower.

I’ve only missed one election since I was able to vote—although my first couple ballots may not have been counted since no one explained the extra steps I’d have to take after casting a provisional ballot, and I still see misinformation going around about that stuff today.

I think either automatic universal suffrage for every US citizen over 18, or making voting mandatory for every US citizen over 18 would stop a lot of the fuckery being pulled by Republicans. Doing away with/criminalizing ridiculous barriers like that one majority Hispanic town where the only polling place is a) outside city limits and b) a mile from the nearest bus stop would help too.

Do I get frustrated with individual people not voting? Sure. Am I gonna blame them more than politicians who have literally said they won’t win if everyone is able to vote? Fuck no.

Fully agreed on all of this. I hope, whenever the Democrats do regain power, they can fix all those issues.

It's slightly tricky to do so, because most of this stuff is administered at the state level.
